Virgo is based on an extremely complex single-stroke triode amplifier design, which uses a pair of E280F superlamps with a triode circuit on each channel.
A reference linear preamp using an unconventional inverted triode technology in the output stages. In this case, a grid is used as the output electrode of the lamp, to which a positive potential is applied, and the control electrode is an anode charged negatively in relation to the grid. The signal applied to the anode modulates the flow of electrons from the cathode to the grid due to the electrostatic "repulsion" of the electron cloud.

Incito S is a single—stroke triode amplifier stage without negative feedback and a transformer in connection with the E280F lamp. This magnificent lamp, produced only by Siemens, works together with a high-quality step-down transformer with a configurable secondary winding. The transformer has a very low output resistance and generates enough current to control any load, up to 50 ohms.
